About this course

Colonial Heritage Golf Course opened in 1998 as part of a residential community in Williamsburg, Virginia. Arthur Hills designed the course to complement the region's colonial history and natural landscape, routing the layout through rolling terrain dotted with mature hardwoods, wetlands, and several ponds. The property sits in the historic triangle area of Virginia, where the landscape transitions between coastal plain and piedmont characteristics. The course measures over 6,900 yards from the championship tees and features the strategic bunkering and green complexes typical of Hills's work from this period. The routing takes advantage of elevation changes uncommon in eastern Virginia's Tidewater region, creating variety in shot values and visual interest. Water comes into play on roughly half the holes, though the design generally offers strategic options rather than forced carries. The par threes vary considerably in length and character, and several par fours require careful positioning off the tee to access green surfaces protected by Hills's characteristic shaping. Colonial Heritage functions as a semi-private facility, serving both community residents and outside play. The course has hosted regional amateur events and qualifiers over the years. Conditioning standards remain consistent with upscale daily-fee expectations in the Williamsburg golf market, which caters to both local players and tourists visiting the area's historical attractions. The clubhouse offers standard dining and event facilities typical of residential golf communities developed during the 1990s.

Getting there

Colonial Heritage Golf Course lies just beyond the historic heart of Williamsburg, Virginia, with most arrivals touching down at either Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport - a compact regional gateway less than twenty minutes away - or Richmond International, roughly an hour northwest along Interstate 64. The drive from either direction unfolds through the gently rolling Tidewater landscape, where colonial-era markers and wooded corridors give way to the manicured edges of planned communities. As you turn off Centerville Road into the gates of Colonial Heritage, the transition is immediate: the hum of modern Virginia fades, replaced by the quiet, orderly grace of a championship layout carved thoughtfully into the low country terrain.
